Chairwoman of Clifton Village Residents' Association, Pat Rice, told the Post: "As soon as I knew about them arriving I sent a message to the police, council and neighbourhood officer so everybody is aware.

"The team who look after the green have left plastic bags with them so they can take their rubbish away.

"We were expecting more to come. Hopefully they won't do any damage, clear up all their mess and leave when they are told - they are not all the same."

This is the second time travellers have arrived at the green since the bollards were set up by the council.

Marie Parker, a 59-year-old receptionist said: "It's just not something you want to see anywhere especially where you live.

"That might sound a selfish thing to say but I am sure people will agree with me and would not like it if it happened where they live.

Ailsa White, 52, added: "It's not an ideal thing to see when you turn into the estate. I knew the bollards would not stop them trying it - it needs to be all the way around."

One resident who wished to remain unnamed said: "It just really bothers me that they move in wherever they like and can keep getting away with it. I am sure they will be moved on soon and bother some other people."

A Nottingham City Council spokesperson said: "Community Protection are aware of the travellers on Clifton Village Green.

"They have been issued with a 24-hour notice to leave and if they remain beyond that 24-hour period we will pursue an eviction order through the courts."
